Again thanks Mike, from Lightwave 7 I can save only in 2 format: 5.5 or 7. But I madea test even with a Lightwave 6 or 6.5 object that I found on the net and the result was the same (with version 7 files I have an unsopported format error). This puzzle me because e-on insist in the manual in the ability of Vue 4 (last patch installed) to import fully textured ghtwave object. And unfortunalty - I checked the manuals - seems that Lig. when export in obj format don't create any MTL file. I know the long way to remap all the material, but it is a long way and the honestly i don know how to recreate all the surface effects I had obtained there. Anyway, thanks again. ***Luca "cinacchi"
